Source: archive.org: The Linga PuranaTaṇḍin (तण्डिन्) is the name of a son of Brahmā, according to the Liṅgapurāṇa chapter 1.65 (“Thousand names of Śiva”).—Accordingly, “[...] King Vasumanas was born of Dṛṣadvatī and Haryaśva. His son was the king Tridhanvan a great devotee of Śiva. He became the disciple of Taṇḍin, the son of Brahmā. By his grace he attained the fruit of a thousand horse-sacrifices. At his behest he became a valorous devotee of Śiva and attained the lordship of Gaṇas. At the outset he had no money with him. The righteous soul pondered over this:—‘How shall I perforin the horse-sacrifice?’ O excellent brahmins, it was then that he met the son of Brahmā, the brahmin Taṇḍin and acquired from him the thousand names of Rudra, formerly mentioned by Brahmā. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
